I Help CTOs Ship AI That Actually Works

Not demos. Not pilots. Production systems that survive contact with real data, real security requirements, and real users.

Why I Can Help

I've spent 25 years shipping technology before it had names. Every wave, same pattern: I'm building production systems while others are still reading whitepapers.

Now I help other CTOs do the same.

Where You Start

Most CTOs I work with have the same question: "Can we actually ship production AI, or is our architecture going to kill us?" The diagnostic answers that.

AI Architecture Diagnostic

Written Assessment + Executive Briefing

$997

Two business day delivery

I look at your systems and tell you the truth. Not what you want to hear. What you need to know before spending $500K on an AI initiative that your architecture can't support.

  • Can your data architecture handle AI workloads?
  • What integration patterns will block deployment?
  • Where are the security gaps agentic AI will expose?
  • Realistic timeline and investment range
  • 30-minute briefing to discuss findings

30 minutes with me

Not sure if I can help? Let's talk. No pitch — just an honest conversation about what you're trying to build and whether your architecture can support it.

  • What you're trying to accomplish
  • Whether I'm the right person to help
  • What I've seen work in similar situations
  • Realistic expectations
  • No pressure, no follow-up spam

How I Work

If the diagnostic shows you're ready — or shows what needs fixing first — here's what a typical engagement looks like.

Architecture Assessment

2-3 weeks · $15K-25K

Deep technical review. I map your systems, identify the gaps, and build a specific roadmap. You'll know exactly what to fix and in what order.

Foundation Build

8-12 weeks · $50K-150K

Hands-on work with your team. We fix the architecture gaps that would kill your AI initiative. Your team learns while we build.

Production AI

Timeline varies

Ship AI that actually works. Not a demo that impresses the board. A system that handles real load, real edge cases, real security requirements.

This isn't like hiring a consulting firm.

No army of junior consultants learning on your dime. No 200-page PowerPoint that sits on a shelf. I work directly with your technical team. Small engagements, high intensity, real outcomes. When I leave, your team knows how to maintain and extend what we built.

Why Me

I've shipped 11 enterprise transformations. Led 100+ engineers at Deutsche Bank. Built AI systems before "machine learning" was a job title. I've seen what works and what kills projects. When I tell you something won't work, I'm not guessing — I've watched it fail.

Your Next Step

The window for building competitive advantage with AI is open now. It won't stay open. The CTOs who ship production AI this year build capabilities their competitors can't copy for years.
